WINDOWSILL GARDENING

You can grow your own in even the smallest of outdoor spaces. Plant windowboxes with shallowrooted crops, such as cut-andcome-again rocket, basil and salad leaves. Hanging baskets look wonderful with trailing nasturtiums (delicious in salads) or strawberries. Short carrot varieties, such as Nantes, and broad beans grow well in pots. Don’t forget vertical spaces, too – grow runner beans and even small squash varieties, such as Munchkin, over arches or up trellis on a sunny fence.
